I think if I had to back one team to pull something from the wreckage of Week 4 of the #M6N in Week 5, it would be France not England...

Just spent 10 minutes reading around the US rationale for the current Iran war and have now given up trying to make sense of it beyond the fact that there's still a lot of shit to come out from the Epstein Files...

Was last week up by the Royal! But look out the window now: weird thing in sky...

Piastri 'critical fail'. Enjoyed that...

Enough with the Friday night matches for us already! #M6N #IRFU

Yup. I watched it on delay (4am was a bit much) and just didn't go online, had WhatsApp muted, notifications turned off etc. Only way to avoid spoilers is to go complete cold turkey.

Worst thing about the Australian GP? The intervals only being measured to a tenth of a second in the broadcast graphics. Drove me mad all race. #F1

Are Firefly Fans Being Trolled? | Den of Geek Nathan Fillion has made cryptic visits to his fellow Firefly cast members on social media, but will the ultimate announcement satisfy fans?

He's certainly put some miles into making it, whatever it is, happen. www.denofgeek.com/tv/are-firef... #browncoats

Have to say that the Australian GP was almost as entertaining as listening to rugby podcasts this morning: and those are *really* fun.

Best. Rugby. Day. Ever.

I obviously know nothing about rugby. Luckily, looks like no-one else does either. Scotland running absolute riot and can’t see us getting close to them in Dublin next week. #M6N

If you're looking for inspo, one of our regular runners at Crawfordsburn* celebrated his 86th birthday with a #parkrun, and it's not exactly an easy course at any age. *Bluesky account coming soon!

Quoting β€ͺ@chrismedlandf1.bsky.social‬: "The stewards have allowed Stroll to start, after Aston highlighted Alonso's pace and Stroll's past performances in F1." I'd have thought that might have gone the other way personally if they're highlighting those... #F1

Remember AD's comment about small turbos being a better option at other circuits - most circuits in fact - and keep the faith. You've only been doing this a couple of years; once you have a few tifosi decades under your belt blind hope will spring eternal.

Well, that’s rather taken the gloss off Mercedes’ morning…

Also need to factor in the degree of potential Ferrari x-factor engine launch…

So, that’s three sets of softs saved by Ferrari.

Nasty. Hope it was just a stinger for the hands, because his reaction suggested that hurt.

Looks like I need to set up a new , more curated #F1 feed. More eejits out there this season than before…

Today is brought to you by #parkrun and the #M6N, but first a little light 5am #F1 qualifying…

Yeah, there’s some crazy stuff going on. All we can really be sure of that the Aston Martin is astonishingly bad, everything else is up for grabs.

One of the many available! You picked one hell of a season to start watching. Never known first race potential chaos like it…

have just done one of *those* fantasy rugby swaps. If it comes off great, if not... #M6N

F1 changes penalty and racing rules for 2026 The stewards are likely to give out fewer penalty points in Formula 1 races this year, following changes to the penalty and driver standard guidelines

'Ello, this is potentially massive and could have as much impact on racing as the engines seem to be having on lap times. www.the-race.com/formula-1/f1... #F1

There is also going to be carbon fibre all over place once these cars start racing. Those inwash vanes behind the front wheel look largely sacrificial. #F1

Whatever else happens this season, these 2026 cars are nice to look at and fun to watch. #F1

Even as a tifosi I suspect this will not age well…

Well, this is merry chaos. #F1
